My half of dinner plate if filled with this salad most of the times.

Avocado oil, herbs and Chilies gives good taste.

The lamb meal sounds amazing!
 
I want to add a little note about the fasting bg. I have been sending mine down by a mixture of 23 hr fasting and exercise. 6.5 today. But I have made quite a discovery. If the bg is too high in the morning I cycle a little to bring it down. By blood testing I’ve discovered i could reduce it from 8 or so to 6 or so by one mile of cycling hard. Yes you read that right - one mile.

21:00 blood sugar 6.3

Fitbit shows 12000 steps end of day.

8 hours sleep. Not slept well woke up 1.5 hours in the middle of night.
 
In my case if blood sugars is around 5 in evening then I cycle home after work about 11 miles hard.

Then if I check after cycling or 30 minutes later my blood sugars are around 7.

My Height is 162cm and weight is 59 kg BMI is around 23.

My understanding is if there is fat around waist is still left until that is gone for good you will see blood sugars will increase with exercises which is good because it is burning the fat. Same goes to dawn phenomenon.

Correct me if I am wrong.

We are at different points. My blood sugar is never around 5 - but what you write makes sense. I do have strong rises in BG in the morning which aren't driven by food intake. I definitely carry fat around the waist.

You're much lighter than me. Maybe I'll get there (to my equivalent weight) and be able to report the same normal BG and rises after exercise. I'd like the chance to find out.

I do go for long bike rides (30-50 k) but have yet to do the measurements both before and after. I'll try it.

Thanks for your comment. Good luck.
 

If you record please share that way helping each other.

Thanks, I'll put the recipe up later when I have a little more time. The carbs would normally be somewhat lower (30 to 35g) as I would have passed on the bread if I hadn't forgotten to include the dates in my calculation.
